I chose these drums because I wanted to remember my grandfather by what he loved most - music. He (Anthony) always loved music, and he became a very good musician. Sadly, he is no longer with us, but we will always remember him. He always loved playing his instruments for us and he taught us how to play the drums. He had moved from New Jersey to Tucson in 2021 with his wife to be with his son, my dad, and his granddaughters (me and my sisters). Growing up he had two siblings: Frank Poliseo, and Roberta Poliseo , but they were not as into music as my grandpa. His parents liked and supported him as a musician, but his uncle taught him how to play the drums. In Germany, during the war, he played the drums for the troops and also joined in the Army. I loved my grandpa so much and I miss him so very, very much. May he rest in peace.
